A blunder from a real game: the played move marked ?? in red on the board, a green arrow showing the better move, the evaluation swing, and the lesson in plain English

How it works

One path, three steps.

1

Analyze a game

Paste a link or your username. A full-strength engine runs on your device and grades every move, then writes the lesson in plain English — accuracy for both sides, every blunder on its own board, the better move and why.

2

Save the fix

One tap turns the key moments into lines in a notebook: the game up to your mistake, then the right continuation. Already have a repertoire? Paste a Lichess study and every chapter becomes a drillable line, or enter moves on the board.

3

Train it

Drill the lines with spaced repetition until they stick, solve puzzles taken from your own games, and see the same mistake stop repeating. My report shows where your games leave the book and what it costs you.

Coach and student, on the same page

Share a game with your coach and their notes land on the exact move. Students join a class with a code — no email, no account setup. Coaches see what was drilled and when.

Rated play, at your level

A full game against the built-in engine. It plays at your rating, so games land near a coin flip, and only your own moves change the number — no hints, no eval bar.

Yours to keep

Notebooks are plain PGN: export everything in one click, print a notebook as a clean study sheet, and use the app offline once it has loaded.

Free for everyone. Forever.

Every feature, including the coach suite. There is no trial and no tier that unlocks the good part. An optional Supporter donation ($3/mo) pays for the servers and unlocks nothing — if money is tight, use the app and don’t think about it.
